1.A.9.3.6
Glycine receptor, GlyR or GlyREM with two subunits, Glra4a (subunit GlyRα; 459 aas) and Glra4b (subunit Glrb or GlyRβ; 498 aas). These subunits are about 80% identical to the human subunits (TC# 1.A.9.3.1). Agonists include glycine, β-alanine, GABA and taurine (Ivica et al. 2021). Intracellular loop domains (ICD) in part determine the agonist specificity and efficiency (Ivica et al. 2021). Lateral fenestrations between subunits in the extracellular domain provide the main translocation pathway for chloride ions to enter/exit a central water-filled vestibule at the entrance of the transmembrane channel (Cerdan et al. 2022).
